Boston InfoSystems Releases New Guide Addressing Recent Ransomware Virus Increas
The new guide includes specific tips to keep businesses safe from recent viral outbreaks of Locky, Cryptolocker, and CryptoWall, reports http://www.bostonis.com/.
Wakefield, MA – March 28, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —
Boston InfoSystems, a premier provider of Managed IT Services Boston, has recently released a new guide providing details on how businesses can protect themselves from the recent outbreak of ransomware viruses that are hitting business networks worldwide. These ransomware viruses include Locky, Cryptolocker, CryptoWall, and others like them. Those who would like to read the newly-released guide can visit www.bostonis.com.
Andy Giles, a spokesperson for Boston InfoSystems, commented “Time and again throughout the history of our firm we have seen businesses remain unprepared for a data loss disaster. Unfortunately, the ransomware problem is only going to get worse. The FBI recently released a statement that ransomware is on the rise, citing a 165 percent increase in incidents in 2015 alone. We have released this new guide simply because we don’t want any business owner to have to deal with the devastating effects of data loss, which has the potential to shut down a business for good.”
Ransomware viruses work by infecting computers through downloaded programs, email attachments, or even infected websites. Once on the computer, the virus encrypts (or “locks”) files on the hard drive so that they can no longer be accessed until the user pays a fee, which can sometimes be up to $5,000. Through their IT Consulting Boston as well as in this new guide, Boston InfoSystems provides business owners with specific tips that they can use to protect their own networks from these viruses and stay safe online.
As Giles goes on to say, “Believe it or not, there is a lot that business owners can do to prevent themselves from becoming the next ransomware victim. Having a data security and backup plan is key, as is awareness about certain behaviors that may be putting them at risk. We are happy to provide this information to business owners so that they can continue to build their businesses with the peace of mind that they are protected at every turn.”
